Casinos in Saudi ArabiaDue to Islam being the official religion, there are no casinos in Saudi Arabia, and all forms of gambling are strictly forbidden. Most Saudis will not even visit casinos in other countries. Most people support the ban on casinos in Saudi Arabia, and there is almost no chance of the ban being lifted in the future. The lack of casinos in Saudi Arabia means that most Saudis don't know how to play casino games, and those who do cannot play them openly. There is some illegal gambling in the country, but it is not very widespread.

Online Casinos in Saudi ArabiaThe ban also means there are no online casinos in Saudi Arabia either. No licenses are granted and the government blocks foreign online casinos too. Of course, some casinos find a way through this net, but they are not widely played and do not stay around for very long.
